520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Einstein and Oppenheimer belonged to different generations, with the boundary marked by the advent of quantum mechanics. By exploring how these men differed--in their worldview, in their work, and in their day--this book provides powerful insights into the lives of two critical figures and into the scientific culture of their times.
